Czech President Petr Pavel — whose country currently holds the rotating position of chair of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors — promises visiting Foreign Minister Eli Cohen that he will push to sanction Iran.
According to the Foreign Ministry, Pavel and Cohen meet in Prague to discuss Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Pavel promises Cohen that he will push for fresh IAEA sanctions on Iran when the board next meets in Vienna in the coming weeks, the Foreign Ministry says.
“I thank President Peter Pavel, a true friend of the State of Israel, for the Czech Republic’s overwhelming support for Israel in the international arena,” says Cohen in a statement, “and especially for its commitment as part of its role as chair of the International Atomic Energy Agency to promote measures and sanctions that will prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.”
Earlier Cohen also met with his Czech counterpart, Jan Lipavsky, during his diplomatic visit to Prague.
